My wife, our 2 year old pyr mix, and I chose this location for a peaceful retreat for a few days. It was really ideal. The rustic cabin sits on a windward facing point of Spruce Mountain Lake. The one room cabin would be relatively dark inside if not for the skylights, which bring in plenty of light. There's a nice breeze from the lake and very little sounds at night except for water lapping at the rocky shore and loons calling to each other around the lake. The cabin has a propane 2 burner stove but no power. Water was provided by our host, who met us there on our first day. We also brought our own water, food, lights, and other supplies which we toted in our folding wagon. The only bathroom is an outhouse, which was well looked after and didn't have any detectable aroma thankfully. The walk in from parking is about 1/3 of a mile on fairly rocky terrain. Our host, Christian, provides a wagon at the trailhead for use, a canoe at lakeside, firewood for the campfire (or presumably the small woodstove inside but we didn't need/ask about it), fresh water for drinking/washing, oil lamps, toilet paper, cards/cribbage games, and plenty of pots/pans for cooking. There are a lot of dry groceries stocked for anyone to enjoy. We had a really nice time. I took a dip in the lake and cooked meals over the campfire. On rainy days it was nice to sleep in and cook inside. Next time I'll pack
less, knowing that Christian has provided most everything needed.
